Piet Hermus - agroforestry to encourage social dialogue
Father and son share their story and aspirations of establishing a food forest in the Netherlands.
The Iberian Agroforestry and Mixed Farming Community has been highlighted by the Agromix project as a relevant innovation for the agroforestry sector, in the article: "Cultivating connections: the growth of thematic social networks in agroecology".
This thematic social network specialised in agroforestry systems has been created by the LIFE AgroForAdapt and PRIMA Transition projects, and has recently been joined by other projects such as Agromix and DigitAF, and currently has 116 registered members.
Al di là della Pac. Sul sito Rural toolkit le opportunità di 26 programmi. L’Italia aumenta le risorse per far conoscere agli operatori le pratiche sostenibili.
Un progetto pilota in Spagna e Portogallo – Equal Rural – per rafforzare la partecipazione delle donne in tutte le posizioni nel settore agricolo, finanziato con 181mila euro dal programma Cerv, per la promozione dei diritti e valori dell’Ue. B-Resilient, finanziato con 1,5 milioni di euro dal programma europeo Smp - Euroclusters, che consente alle Pmi europee del settore agroalimentare (per un massimo di 60mila euro a impresa) di massimizzare l’utilizzo delle materie prime e valorizzarne anche gli scarti, trasformandoli in ingredienti innovativi a base biologica.
The AGROMIX project aims to deliver participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe.
It focuses on practical agroecological solutions for farm and land management and related value chains. AGROMIX makes use of a network of 83 sites with Mixed Farming (MF), AgroForestry (AF) or value chain stakeholder networks, which are used to measure, design, model, test and improve these systems. A nested approach will be used to conduct 12 co-design pilots across Europe. In addition, 6 replicated long-term trial sites are used for detailed analysis (crops and livestock). AGROMIX has six specific objectives: 1) Unlock the full potential of synergies in MF/AF systems. 2) Develop and promote value chains and infrastructure for MF/AF produce. 3) Develop the MIX-A toolkit to co-design and manage MF/AF systems in practice. 4) Identify and model transition scenarios. 5) Develop policy recommendations and action plans for a successful transition. 6) Maximise the impact and legacy of the project for building low-carbon climate-resilient farming systems. AGROMIX uses a transdisciplinary multi-actor research approach with 10 universities, 7 research institutes and 11 multi-actor partners. It will use Reflexive Interactive Design methodology to include stakeholders in participatory co-design and implementation of MF/AF systems. The research starts with a work package (WP1) on context, co-creating a resilience framework. WP2 on systems design and synergies is at the heart of project. WP3 on indicators and scenarios will refine the greenhouse gas inventories for MF/AF systems and model transition scenarios. WP4 develops and tests the MIX-application/serious game. Further WPs are on economics and value chains, and on policy co-development, action plans and dissemination delivering impact and exploitation through practical innovations on farms, in value chains, at different policy levels and through communication and knowledge hubs across Europe.
